About Egypt's Hidden Treasures

Itinerary

Notes

Egypt's Hidden Treasures is one of the most exciting tours we have ever had the pleasure of offering. With special
permission, we will be able to visit a number of the most fabulous sites in Egypt which, because of their fragile
nature, are normally closed to visitors. We will also visit a number of sites that require special admission fees and are consequently
not included in most other tours. The cost of all (special admission) and (Closed to public) sites are included in the tour price.

Because
of the unique nature of this trip and the cost of the special arrangements, there may be a minimum requirement for the number
of participants. In order to insure an exceptional experience for everyone on the tour, there is an absolute maximum of 20 participants.

The tourincludes stays in the garden section of the Mena house near the pyramids, the Winter Palace Pavillon in Luxor, the
Cataract Hotel in Aswan and the Fairmont Heliopolis in Cairo.

The boat we use on the Lake Nasar cruise will
depaen upon the availability and schedule at the time of the tour. It will be the Prince Abbas, Eugenie or comparable.

The
price of the tour includes all meals and non-alcoholic beverages at meals. The customer is expected, but not required, to tip the
guide and tour manager. All other tips are included, except for personal items.
